It's my ninth blogiversary! Or it will be in a few days. It's also 8:15 pm, and I totally forgot I needed to make this post by midnight or so. A little peek behind the curtain lol. Anyway, nine years is longer than most things I've done in my life. (And that's nine years since I started this blog. Abandoned blogs before this one don't count.) I've said before that I was always someone who...
It's been a while since I've reviewed any games, because I've pretty much been playing one game for about seven months now. (Wow, I didn't even realize it's been that long!) But I have a list of a whole bunch of games I always meant to post reviews for. So here are some of those reviews, three games that have some really creative and interesting puzzle solving...

Another month of nothing. Just being tired and having all the usual aches and pains and worrying about things. But when I wasn't doing that (or rather, while I was doing that, since I'm always doing that) I was playing more Baldur's Gate 3. I would say I'm sorry that's all I've talked about for like six months, but I'm not. It's just so good. Here's a picture of Wyll trying to convince a guard to...
Reylan is back from his brief trip out of this dimension/realm only to find time has moved differently here, and things have changed. He'll have to figure out what allies he still has and what's going on if he wants to save those who still need help and any chance of getting back to a normal...
This is my sixth post about opening lines (obviously), and I thought I’d switch it up a bit by making it a quiz! See if you can correctly guess which opening line goes with which book, based on covers and titles. I tried to choose books with opening lines that aren’t too vague, but also...

The supernatural trio have decided to stay in small town Silveropolis a while longer when another murder happens, possibly done by a vampire hunter. Sterling tries to find out more from a hot, nerdy journalist while also dealing with gods, local cryptids, and...
Wow, that was a lot of adjectives. But I wanted everyone to know these graphic novels are not only queer, and not only sci-fi/fantasy, they are also very aesthetically pleasing. To me, at least. And all in color! Some of my favorite graphic novels are in black and white, so no disrespect toward that choice, but colorful comics can be a real feast for the eyeballs. Maybe I can do beautiful black...
